JOOLS HOLLAND / RUBY TURNER - JOOLS & RUBY AND THE RHYTHM & BLUES ORCHESTRA
This release is a very special collection of tracks recorded
by the boogie-woogie master Jools Holland in collaboration with the
astoundingly soulful Ruby Turner. Jools Holland & Ruby Turner will feature
a selection of the duo’s favorite songs performed together in addition to a
number of newly recorded tracks on this one off album. Jools Holland and Ruby
Turner first met 22 years ago when Jools was looking for singers to join his
big band. Ruby’s voice matched her big personality and the two soon became dear
friends. Describing Ruby as the sister he never had, Jools even invited the singer
to perform at his wedding. The duo have gone on to write music together and
travelled the world with tours alongside the rest of the much-loved big band. The
album which celebrates Jools 20th anniversary on Warner Music will include The
Informer, Jumpin’ In The Morning, Jumpin’ At The Jubilee plus new songs that
the pair specifically love performing live including Peace In The Valley, Same
Old Heart, To Love A Child and festival track The Christmas Song. ~ Amazon
